Hale Lani ~ Big Island Charmer with Panoramic Ocean Views ~ Near Best Beaches

This solar powered single family home is located on the coast in the foothills of hawaii island’s oldest volcano, Kohala mountain, with views of the coastline and ocean. This beautifully appointed home is conveniently located in the historic neighborhood of Kawaihae Village. Set along the Kawaihae road, Hale Lani is a five-minute drive from some of the highest-rated beaches in the world: Mauna Kea, Hapuna beach state park and Waialea bay. Equally close are restaurants known for prize-winning fine dining in an outdoor setting. A scenic drive from Kawaihae harbor up the coast takes you to the charming town of Hawi, with prime whale viewing along the way during the winter months. The interesting and beautiful town of Waimea is just 15 minutes drive up the mountain where guests enjoy the many shopping and sightseeing options.

Relaxing and convenient
We had a great visit with easy access to the Kohala beaches. The backyard has a great view of the ocean with plenty of seating where we could read our books, drink cold beverages and not have to compete with crowds. We would love to stay here again.

Great week on our first trip to Hawai’i
We loved the location and amenities of this house. Wonderfully equipped kitchen, lovely mountain and ocean views, and lots of beach equipment (chairs, umbrella, cooler, etc.). We’ll want to rent it on our next trip, thanks for sharing it with us!

This place was immaculately clean, spacious and wonderfully decorated. We loved the location- just 5 minutes from Hapuna and 15 minutes from Waimea and 30 minutes from Kona. Lovely private back yard to sun bath in and look at the stars at night. Owners are lovely and communicative. We will be back!

Great Spot Away from Crowds
Property is well taken care of and Nicole and Nicholas took great care of us. The house had everything we could have needed for our stay to include beach items. House is located closer to many of the beaches, but farther away from the more urban Kona area. We really enjoyed the location and home. The small issue we had was quickly resolved and didn't impact our stay at all. Highly recommend for your tropical getaway.

Amazing family getaway!
Our little family had the best stay here! The house was extremely well stocked, the space was perfect for our family of four and we made so many memories here, but what really put things over the top were our wonderful hosts. They were extremely thoughtful throughout our stay from the fresh baked bread at check in after our late flight, to dropping off a basket of toys for our boys on a day that looked like it might rain, to letting us hang on to the snorkel gear and boogie boards for the day after checkout to pass the time before our flight home at the beach in style. The house was an incredible home base for all of our adventures on the Big Island, and we hope to be able to stay here again if we get the chance to come back!

The location of this property is awesome. The best part is the host. There was great communication and if problems had occurred, I’m sure they would have been resolved quickly. I even tried to book the following week, but it wasn’t available:)

Evenings of sunsets and BBQ's
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. Nicole and Nicholas went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well supplied in the house. All of the little details that make the difference were handled. We arrived very late in the evening to a fresh loaf of bread and butter, a bottle of wine, and coffee beans for the morning. What a joy for a late flight. The view on the lanai is to die for and the proximity to the beaches is wonderful. We have been doing VRBO rentals on the Big Island for the last 7 years and this was the best rental we have stayed at for both the property and the hosts. Thank you - we plan to return!

Wonderful home, wonderful hosts
We had a lovely time staying at Nicole and Nicholas’s home. It was spotless when we arrived, and the thought that went into the extras they provided (fresh baked Hawaiian bread, Hawaiian sodas in the fridge, coffee and more) combined with how helpful they were if we needed anything, made our stay extra special. Location is very convenient to several beaches. This is a perfect choice if you don’t care for the resort vibe and want your own outdoor space. The only thing is there is some noise from the road if you are hanging outside but otherwise, Nicole and Nicholas’s spot is a gem. Highly recommended.

Very clean and great location!
Loved how clean and well stocked the rental was. The beach umbrellas and chairs they provided were super helpful. Beautiful oceans views (just don’t expect a lush tropical landscape, this is the dry side of the island). 5-15 minutes away from lots of awesome beaches. Hosts were great with communication and provided lovely touches like a bottle of wine, freshly baked bread and a bag of coffee. And only 15 minute drive to cute town of Waimea. Only downsides are a bit of traffic noise, master bathroom doesn’t have a door and a few ants (but the hosts were upfront about it and they leave as soon as fast as they appear)

Unbelievable -A Little Villina, within minutes of best beaches.
It seems like many vacation rentals show fancy pictures, which they don’t live up to. This home is even better than you expect. It’s like going to your well-traveled relative’s home, where they have been very thoughtful of your comfort. A great base to explore much of the island, with beaches close enough to go twice a day. Could be charging a lot more for this property. Thank you so much!

Paradise Found
We have looked for a long time to find a rental that felt like our second home, and we found it. If VRBO was looking for an example of how to present an accommodation, this wonderful place would be their template. From the greeting at the door, to the well -stocked kitchen and modern appliances, to air conditioning that works, an exquisite master bath and shower, beautiful decor, great location to beaches and hiking, and attentive hosts, our only disappointment is we didn't book for a longer period. We resolved that by already booking for a longer stay next year.

Feeling At Home in Hawaii
The privacy of staying in a home instead of a clamorous hotel is conducive to true relaxation, for us. We enjoyed having the comfort of a clean, well supplied house to wake up in and have coffee and breakfast on our secluded patio. We also enjoyed happy hour at the end of the day on the patio and barbecued dinner there a couple of times. There is a lot of traffic noise just below (but out of sight of) the rear of the property beyond the patio and yard. We adjusted to it and ignored it…choosing to enjoy the scenery and the ocean view. Our home owner provided some delicious Kona Coffee upon arrival and surprised us with a loaf of delicious fresh-baked bread mid-week. All appliances were fairly new, very clean and in good working order. We had any utensils we required at hand in abundance. The location is out of town and isolated, although, it is only a few minutes to groceries, restaurants abc beaches. We would stay here again.

Perfect from sunrise to sunset
We had the good fortune of staying at this wonderful home for about a week and a half. My son is a boarding student up in Waimea, which was an easy drive for him each morning. I also had a friend visiting and we loved the location because it was close to the beaches as well as a good launchpad for adventures to Hawi, Pololū, two-step and pine trees beach not to mention many stops at Hapuna. We made frequent use of the beach supplies, including chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, snorkel gear and towels. The home is decorated in true Hawaiian style and the neighborhood is close to everything but not touristy - a great way to experience the island “like a local”. The lanai and yard were perfect for watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee or enjoying the sunset with a glass of wine. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, and functional. We would cook up a great meal and head to the nearby Blue Dragon to take in some live music under the stars. Self checkin was also a breeze and we were greeted with a loaf of homemade bread as well as other little treats. Nicole and Nicholas were responsive hosts who have thought of everything to make the stay enjoyable and memorable. Mahalo!!
